Abstract
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical techniques are being increasingly applied to the treatment of urological diseases. We report a case of a laparoscopically performed modified bilateral retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for clinical stage 1 testicular cancer. The laparoscopic surgical approach to the retroperitoneal nodes is a technically feasible procedure that can remove lymph node tissue from all primary landing sites for testicular cancer metastases with potentially decreased morbidity.
